The Timer, though I wish it required less clicks.

Everything has to be manually entered. Would be nice if we could bulk upload projects and tasks.

Honestly, what we used before was more convenient for my job position but it is helpful for people who didn't use our software.

"Review for this transaction"
What do you like best about BigTime?

Leah J was Awesome, Clear, fast, and competent. most of the time the chat is great! this was one of those times, again Leah J was great. My low recommendation has nothing to do with her or the support I received today.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

We've had BT for over a year, and it has never worked fully for us. We have had multiple issues from setup to current. The chat support is good, but all other levels of support really lack. It has never been right. We were promised certain functionality that never was implemented.

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

Nene, we struggle with it on the daily.

"Constant problems"
What do you like best about BigTime?

Staff is nice; however, that doesn't mean I should have to talk to them for problems every single time.

What do you dislike about BigTime?

Since I started the program, I have been unable to correctly run a single payroll. Constant technical problems have plagued this app. I am so frustrated!

What problems is BigTime solving and how is that benefiting you?

I thought moving from QB Time to Big Time would solve problems. It only created new ones.
